This week in 1983, CHINA CRISIS released the single, TRAGEDY AND MYSTERY, (May 1983).
Issued as the first single from their 1983 album ‘Working with Fire and Steel – Possible Pop Songs Volume Two’, TRAGEDY AND MYSTERY featured expressive vocals from Gary Daly that blended perfectly with the lush sounds of Eddie Lundon’s timbre and producer Mike Howlett’s sophisticated sonic production.
Winter displayed in a snow white haze
Fires burning brightly in the night
Tragedy and mystery
Open your mind and you will see
From waterfalls I hear romantic calls
Feather in a ray of sunlight
Tragedy and mystery
Open your mind and you will see
Your world is changing though you cannot see
And there's no room for secrecy
Your world is changing faster everyday
And there's no truth in what they say
Two by two
My heaven made blue
Life in a world of love and truth
Tragedy and mystery
Open your mind and you will see
